US envoy to the UN hopes ‘wisdom will prevail’ at Temple Mount
US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley chooses not to weigh in on the ongoing tension surrounding the Temple Mount.
At a UN Security Council session dealing with tensions surrounding the holy site, Haley says that the Trump administration “shares everyone’s concerns about the heightened tensions” and offers to help restore calm.
“At the holy sites, it’s vital that both access and security are maintained,” she says, adding that she will refrain from further commenting on the matter “in the hope that wisdom will prevail over emotion.”
